(Reuters) – Solar Trust of America LLC, which holds the development rights for the world’s largest solar power project, on Monday filed for bankruptcy protection after its majority owner began insolvency proceedings in Germany.

The Oakland-based company has held rights for the 1,000-megawatt Blythe Solar Power Project in the Southern California desert, which last April won $2.1 billion of conditional loan guarantees from the U.S. Department of Energy. It is unclear how the bankruptcy will affect that project.

OAKLAND — Police responded to reports of multiple people hurt in a shooting this morning at a Christian university on Edgewater Drive in East Oakland.

As many as eight may have been shot and there may be fatalities, police said. Four wounded people have been brought out from the building, on 7850 Edgewater Drive, and taken away by ambulance. More are being triaged outside the building.
